Following most recommendations, I left the light off for the first month to let the live rock cure. Since I've turned them on, the rust brown diatom algae has gone crazy. I took this opportunity to stock a couple of clean up crew and all seem to be doing well except for the cerith snails. I ordered more live rock to finish the system and will be patiently waiting till the diatoms consume all the silicates in the water. Hopefully the saltwater I'm purchasing from the local fish store is high quality and this bloom will pass soon.
